...Henry Fonda, now appearing in Manhattan in New Faces. They were divorced last winter. She makes $1,200 a week, banks $1,000, likes to cook chicken livers and sweetbreads, enjoys fishing and is agreeable to hooking her own worms.

Equally lifeless is A Church Mouse, another load of Fodor which relates the story of a drab little girl who has cunning enough to persuade a rich...
